The New York Rangers' J.T. Miller has a sense of accountability that has us stunned. Instead of blaming other players or the coaching staff, he has owned the loss. Can the Rangers bounce back?![J.T. Miller]()
The New York Rangers met their former Captain Jacob Trouba on his own turf last night in Anaheim.
Not only would Trouba come out of the game with an injury, but the Ducks would put together a win for him. Mason McTavish scored the game-winning goal for the Ducks.
Now, after all is said and done, the Rangers came out of the game no better in the standings prior.
Instead of pouting and complaining about his teammates, Rangers 1st-line center J.T. Miller would own the loss and recognize their faults.
3 Rangers players would come out of the game with 2 points, including Miller, Adam Fox, and Alexis Lafreniere.
"We were in charge of the game going into the third period, twice," Laviolette said. "We don't execute and get it done, so that's disappointing. As disappointing as it gets."
But the issues were on the backend when they would give up two goals easily.
Miller pointed out that the Rangers' power-play unit basically gave them the game when Carlsson and Killorn found a way to score on the Rangers' short-handed.
The power-play was for 1 for 7 last night, and for a team with elite players in the lineup, they sure didn't play like it.
Later, the Rangers would allow Cutter Gauthier and Olen Zellweger in their own zone and would let them push the game into overtime. As Gauthier wold score off of a Carlsson rebound, and Zellwger would capitalize on that goal shortly after.
The Rangers and Miller will have to pick up the pieces and find a way to rebound tonight against the San Jose Sharks.
With 75 points in the Eastern Conference, they're still in the hunt for a wild card spot and
